Description

Sintra Vegan Mineral Suncream is an important part of a complete sun protection strategy.

Sunscreens that offer both UVA and UVB protection are sometimes called broad spectrum.

You should choose a ‘Broad Spectrum’ sunscreen that will protect your skin from from UVA & UVB rays.

SPF only measures how much a sunscreen will protect you from UVB rays, the type that cause sunburn. Only Broad Spectrum Sunscreens also protect you from UVA rays, the type that cause suntan and skin aging. Remember, UVB = burn, UVA = aging.

ZINC CLEAR XP:

It is transparent/non-whitening, exceeds critical wavelength requirements, offers broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, and is suitable for all skin types.

This product is recommended for mass market suncare either as a sole UV filter, or in combination with other UV absorbers, low irritant or sensitive skin sunscreens, everyday moisturizers providing SPF, ‘all natural’ and ‘mineral only’ sunscreens, for infant/children suncare products, nappy rash creams and balms, colour cosmetics, and lip balms.

RED RASPBERRY SEED OIL:

According to research, red raspberry seed oil can absorb UVB and UVC sun rays.

But the oil offers limited protection from UVA. UVA rays increase the risk for skin cancer and other skin problems like wrinkles and premature aging.

How much sunscreen to use:

• The Paediatricians recommend sunscreen’s SPF using 2 milligrams of sunscreen per square centimeter (2mg/cm2) of skin. This is about 1oz for a full adult body (about a shot glass full) or about 1/3 of a teaspoon to cover your face.
• It’s nearly impossible to actually measure and evenly apply sunscreen according to these guidelines, so we suggest applying a visibly whitening coat of sunscreen to all exposed skin and rubbing it in to reduce the whitening effect.
• To ensure that you have achieved full and even coverage, let this coat dry/sink in for 15-30 minutes and then reapply. Think of it as a base coat and finish coat.
• To maintain maximum effectiveness, sunscreen should be reapplied at least every 2 hours and directly after extended swimming or sweating.
• For sensitive skin, apply a small amount of the product to test before full use. Keep out of eyes and keep off broken or unhealthy skin.
